Like all Punch-Out!! games, the object of this game is to recognize fighting patterns. In this case, Doc Louis will fight at a normal rate, until he eats a candy bar, then his strikes will become more powerful. The object is to hit him as much as possible, then avoid or counter his massive hits.
The game can be played with a single Wii Remote, a Wii Remote and nunchuck combo, or with the Classic Controller (as well as other controllers with Classic Controller functionality such as the NES Classic Edition controller or the SNES Classic Edition controller).
The game was originally available for free for Club Nintendo members who reached platinum status before June 30, 2009. It was made available to all Club Nintendo members for 250 coins from February 2, 2015, until the Club Nintendo program closed. Unfortunately, because it was never released on physical media and because the Nintendo Wii Shop channel was closed on January 30, 2019, it is no longer officially available.
Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! is a fun little game for those lucky enough to be able to claim it before it became unavailable. It was a fun game for Punch-Out!! fans as well as a good primer on how the Wii Punch-Out!! worked.
Final Verdict:
3½ out of 5
